Suggestions and Questions / Re: “Random Taxers” tirade yet...

Last post by Molandfreak - Today at 05:46:16 PM

Why get your panties in a wad over this? Have you never seen an occurrence of the cops, having the choice of vehicles/motorists to pull over and give a revenue-generating ticket, choose only one of them and let the other one go? That's pretty much the definition of "random taxation."

And that's not an overtly political position to take. I've seen conservatives and liberals alike decry traffic enforcement.

The issue I have is that it's literally impossible to tell if he has a legitimate point or if he's an insane sovereign citizen type who doesn't think he should pay vehicle registration fees. But if I enquire further into this, I'm probably the one who would receive the brunt end from moderation.

Not looking like 315 or 399 will be signed. Unlike 353, Richmond DPW does not maintain those roads and so they're deferring to VMFA and the Science Museum (neither one of whom I think would be interested in signing those routes).

I'm not normally this guy, but we've covered the topic of cities that aren't in their eponymous county before - https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=26314, just in case it saves anyone time.

We've probably already covered it in this very thread already too, but I don't want to go searching through all two bazillion posts to confirm that.

I can conclusively say it wasn't in the first 62 pages

In addition, unless you actually have GMaps plan a route, it doesn't show up as closed right now.

Sure it does.

All of a sudden, GMaps has Chaffee County CR306 (the road that goes over Cottonwood Pass between Buena Vista and near Crested Butte) listed as CO306. As this whole route for paved a few years back, I had to double check to make sure that CODOT hadn't designated it a state route. If it had been, it would have been only the third seasonal state route in Colorado (after CO82 and CO5). But nope. Just a goof.

It was SH 306 up until 1984 per Wikipedia. It's not like this is a new occurrence either; a bunch of former highways are still on Google Maps.

It's not a new occurrence for that happening in general, but it is new that that particular stretch of road is listed as a state highway. In addition, unless you actually have GMaps plan a route, it doesn't show up as closed right now. Not that this happens a lot probably, but if you're just looking at the map without actually having the software navigate and you want to go between Denver and Crested Butte, you might think that it's open all year long.

Last post by 74/171FAN - Today at 05:07:46 PM

I am getting conflicting reports online about this question --

What parts of the new US-460 Corridor Q are open to traffic between Pikeville KY and Grundy VA

One mentions a recent opening to VA-744 at Southern Gap and I don't see any VA-744 on the VDOT Buchanan County map.

I know some people here have driven this area recently.

Where is the thread about Buc-ee's trying to take advantage of the interregnum to set up a location in St. Peter's Square?

https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=7720.0

I just wanted you to know Alanlore has become the office sensation.  We all hope for and dread the return of the Age of Tasteful Beige.

Have you showed them the wiki?

Indeed, the first page up was on Alan Dunes-Flamingo.
